OMAHA LOST.

Eut was the Eayori1e second Choice
for the Republican Convention.
Washington, Dec. S-Ohicaso is to be
the place and Tuesday, June 10, the
date for holding the national republican
nominating convention. This conclusion
was reached by the national republican
committee late this afternoon after two
hours OF speeches by representatives OF
the various cities competing for the con-
ventlon and three ballots by the commit
tee. Omaha came to the front in better
form than WAS anticipated. On the
first ballot she WAS second choice. Chicago
leading with eleven votes and Omaha
recelving ten. Ii there had been any
dark horse business about it, there
would have been no doubt of Omaha se-
curing the priEs. She was the prim ia.
vorite as second choice. Too much credit
cannot be given Senator Manderson
for the manner in which he presented the
advantages OF Omaha and his speech is
pronounced by everyone as q mastery
effort, slicitsd repeating applause. Two
or three members OF the COMMITTEES
ackno wledeed to the Bee correspondent
that they were won over to Omaha by
the way in which her claims were pre-
ssnted. The delegation esnt hera from
Nebraska also did maenlfieent work.
and although its members rspret HAVING
failed to secure that for vhioh they
oame, they are satistied that Their vork
has not been in vain and that tha nity al
Omahs and state Of N ebraska win derive
enough benefit to repay them for the
trouble and expenditures made. The

was America yer DIscoxareda

At the time when Columbus started in
search Of the New World, nearly every
man, woman and child in Europe insisted
that there was no New World to discover.
When he came back, crowned with
success, large proportion ns theee good
people adhered to their theory; and il
they were alive to-day many of them
would doubtless insist that America had
never been discovered at ell. A man
will give mp anything in the world more
readily then o pet theory. For example,
look at the individuals who stilli main
tain that consumption is incurable. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
cured thousands upon thousands Of GASES,
and will cure thousands more, but these
people can't give mp their point. Never
theless the Discovery" will cure any
cess OF consumption, il taken in time.

Under strict interpretation OF rights
and privileges no territory can claim o
voice in d, national nominating body and
we are not sure that q territory should
ask it, or even accept it. A territory is
disfranchised from participation in she
confirmation of party nominations and so
long as ii can contribute DO votes TO the
success Of !. ticket it should hardly bear
any portion of the responsibility for the
creation of such ticket. We are aware
that this is an extreme view and that

half loaf rather than none. Yet there
is principie involved and it is this
principle that our comments touch upon.

In tie east the question of municipal
ownership OF electric lighting systems
has been decided in the affirmative.
After ample investigation it is found
that it is economy for city to manu-
factura It's own Illuminating electricity
and to own its plant. Ii this is economy
in cities which must pay heavy fuel bills
in the creation OF artificial power, the
economy you'd be much greater in the
case OF Yankton, which nov has enough
power going to waste to light ali its
streets and public places. The overflow
from the city artesian we'll would turn
dynamo of ample power for public uses
and probably give the city power to sell.
The cost OF q turbine wheel and of the
machinery for producing the electric
light and the lighting appliances would
be all the CITY need incur and after that
its lighting expenses would be the salary
of an electrician to attend to the system.
One man would be sufficient for this
duty, as turbine wheel requires little
or no attention and is always ready to go
to work when the valve is opened,
Power for manufacturing establish
ments to run during the daylight hours
could be fold and in few years the
profits therefrom would pay for the
plant. An arc light dynamo and street
lighting system could be introduced and
maintained by the city without preiu-
dice to private enterprise whlch 10 di.

ances. Why should not tho city OF
Yankton utilize the waste from the
water works in the manufacture OF street
! fighting electricity?

The following is from the Fiandrau

the great centers OF division senti-
ment In Dakota in the cities OF Huron
in Beadle county, Mitchell in Dawson,
Pierre in Hughes, Sioux Falls in Min
nehaha, Yankton in Yankton, and in the
Homestake mining company, which
controls Lawrence county. The seven
counties above named gave msjoaity
of 5,537 for division, while balance OF
the territory has given majority against
division. The men who have controlled
the affairs OF the seven counties above
named have been vigorously preaching
division IN the interests OF economy, and
the assumption has been that they are
experts in the matter of economic ad-
ministration OF public affairs. We And

latest figures at hand 1.-THE bonded coun-
was 81 ,119; ;160, while the bonded indebt-
edness OF the other seventy-nine coun-
ties was $1,257 ,658. In other words, the
seven counties which carried the terri
tory for division have an average county
indebtedness about ten times as great ns
the average OF the rest of the counties in
the territory.

Beer and Music In New York.
New York Heruld-

The Beer and Music bill Is now a law.
Governor Hill signed it yesterday. Fy
this exceptional and commendable
promptness he has, as the Herald yes
terday predicted he would, shown his
readiness to blot out a tyrannical law in
response to the unanimous demand of
the great body of our German citizens.
They may now enjoy themselves in their
favorite way without violating a law o:
the land.
The CELEBRITY and vigor with which
this measure has been carried through
are remarkable. On Tuesday, Nav 3
the Herald voiced the popular demand
for the repeal of the odious law which
made it a crime to enjoy beer and music
together in any respectable and orderly
resort. On Thursday the necessary bill
was passed in the Assembly by an over
whelmiRg majority. On Tuesday fol-
lowing it went through the Senate. The
very next day-that is, yesterday.
was cordially approved by Governor
Hill. That is the kind of legislation New
York wants, and it wants more of il.
The new law is not intended for the
benefit of disreputable dives and dens.
1t will not permit the opening of single
one of them. 1t allows instrumental
and vocal music to be furnished with
wine. beer and other liquors i'm respect
able licensed places approved by the
mayor. The law is designed to pro-
tect harmless resorts without tOlerating
vicious ones. Its enactment is a victory
for the people and individual rights.

Will be seen that the number of those
seeking location in Southern States is,

to bear in mind that of the large number
accredited to New York a great proper
ton arrived without settled plans,
though intending to secure homes in
other States.

cashmere, sleeveless, and fastened on the
shoulders by heavy golden clasps with
sapphires- The robe was innocent of
draperies and ..''dress improver." 1t
fitted loosely to the figure, displaying,
however, every line, and was confined at
the waist by a white silken scarf knOtted
carelessly on one side. The edge of the
scarf was embroidered in gold thread.

caught sight of this graceful and pictur-
esque figure standing out i'm bold contrast
to the be-hOoped, be-bustled, be-laced
W omen who surrounded her 1t made
me hope for better things in the way of

ing that a gown of the sort Just de-
scribed, is not meant for fat dOwagers
or scrawny naidens somewhat past their
youth; but, then, neither are bustles.

Jones' Finley.

1t is a coincidence somewhat startling
| that a banker in Jacksonville should re-
| cover damages in a suit against the
Times Union just when every motive of
honor and decency should be urging that
journal to make the fullest apology to
Gen. j. j. Finley.
Ii there is one man in whose political
purity and individual honor the people
of Florida have implicit confidence that
man is Jesse j. Finley. In long politi-
cal career, the bitterest enemy
has never thrown suspicion on his mo-
tives or conduct-the tongue which
called our people ''murderers" acknowl-
edged Finley's purity, and the hand
which struck at the dearest intent of our
State failed to execute malicious inter-
est when Finley stood opposite. The car
pet-bagger who snatched women from
their homes and imprisoned innocent
men for months without trial respected
the character of such an opponent; it has
been reserved for a new defamer of
Florida, born in a sister State, to make
the first attack on Finley's honor.
Elsewhere may be found the indignant
protest of the gray old hero against the
charge of the Times Union that Perry
had bought his support. We had
already commented on the injustice of
the charge-it is enough here
to note that the denial has
ELECTED neither apology, explanation nor
proof. We had thought it enough that
we should have sensations labelled Jones'
Bloxham, Jones-Perry, Jones-Sinclair,
etc.-we certainly never expected to see
one which might be called JOnes-Finley
1t is matter of deep regret to all good
citizens that the bitterness of the old
Bisbee campaigns should rise from a
new source to pollute the airs of the new
day and that the rusty weapons which
DOugherty consigned to idleness must
come forth from their concealment to
strike again at the hearts of our truest
and hest
